Title: I Say, Watson!
Canon Story: Copper Beeches
Rating: Gen
Summary: In which Holmes harrumphs.
Author's Note: For once, Holmes is the author-self-insert.

“’Running up, I blew its brains out….’ I say, Watson!”
“Blame the editors. They are now clamouring for less comic relief, more action!”
He harrumphed.  “But for the mirror, I’d hardly know who we are anymore!”
I glanced at our reflections in the glass. “We do make a fetching pair, don’t we?”
He smiled. “Indeed. Illustrator and editors be damned.”

Thank you!

John Watson, action hero! I love it...and the schmoopy bits as well.

Yeah, I imagine his editor like some smarmy Hollywood producer. Can you do one with your shirt off? Or wrestle an alligator

Wrestle an alligator with your shirt off in a waterfall?

The reading public want action. Forget accuracy.

[okapi1895.livejournal.com]

True. And a bit with a dog.

I did enjoy the running about with Miss Hunter. I like a bit of running ^^

You and the Victorian reading public.

Tee hee. You can definitely channel a fiction-magazine editor. "How about a fight with a savage animal? People love those."

And definitely one with his shirt off.

Could you wrestle a bear? Or save a woman tied to the railroad tracks?
